We are happy to have your not-for-profit
program/presentation in our library. If you would like, we can include
your program on the events calendar of our website, as well as on our
monthly “Adult Programs” handout. Any fliers produced by your
organization will be posted only on our bulletin board and handout area
in the Reference section of the building. We also will fax for you, at
no charge, press releases which you produce to the Home News Tribune,
Sentinel, and the Star Ledger. Any additional publicity you wish to do
outside of the library must be done by yourself. Your phone number, not
the library’s, must be used as the contact number. And you must handle
your own registration of attendees, if applicable. |
